Abstract
* There is a great deal of commonality and similar drivers between all
management systems, whether addressing OHS or environmental matters.
* Therefore, a recent trend is developing towards integration of management
systems under one super system, to avoid duplication and to streamline the
process while satisfying stakeholders demands.
* An integrated management system should help organisations effectively manage
their environmental, OHS and quality issues while saving on financial and
human resources.
* The adoption of integrated management systems will significantly reduce the
burden of implementing two or more systems and avoid duplication. The
integration process will also magnify the strength of each system.
